A3906
Low Voltage Stepper and Single/Dual DC Motor Driver
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ 2.5 to 9 V operation
Designed for pulse width modulated (PWM) control of low
voltage stepper motors, and single and dual DC motors, the
A3906 is capable of output currents up to 1 A per channel and
operating voltages from 2.5 to 9 V.
▪ Internal PWM current limit control
▪ Synchronous rectification for reduced power dissipation
▪ Peak current output flag
▪ Undervoltage lockout
▪ Low RDS(on) outputs
▪ Small package
▪ Brake mode for DC motors
▪ Sleep function
▪ Crossover-current protection
▪ Thermal shutdown
The A3906 has an internal fixed off-time PWM timer that
sets a peak current based on the selection of a current sense
resistor. An overcurrent output flag is provided that notifies
the user when the current in the motor winding reaches the
peak current determined by the sense resistor. The fault output
does not affect driver operation.
TheA3906isprovidedina20-contact,4 mm×4 mm,0.75 mm
nominal overall height QFN, with exposed pad for enhanced
thermal dissipation. It is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin
leadframe plating.
Package: 20-contact QFN (suffix ES)
Applications include the following:
▪ Digital still cameras (DSC)
▪ Cell phone cameras
▪ USB powered devices
▪ Battery powered devices
